This all looks like a bug to me. At least, I could not find it somewhere clearly documented in VFP 7/8/9. Here is how to reproduce the behavior:

CLEAR

set century TO 19 ROLLOVER 55   && default

?SET("century",2)  &&55

lnyear=VAL(RIGHT(DTOC(DATE()),2))+1
set century ON TO 19 ROLLOVER lnyear    

?SET("century",2)   *&& still 55, why?

for i=1 to 10
	?ctod('01/01/'+ transform(m.i))  && rollover 6 does not work
NEXT

set CENTURY TO 19 ROLLOVER lnyear

?SET("century",2)   && now it is 6, because of ON was removed?
for i=1 to 10
	?ctod('01/01/'+ transform(m.i))   && rollover 6 works
NEXT

* Try with ON again
set CENTURY ON TO 19 ROLLOVER lnyear 

?SET("century",2)     && it is 6 however, why?
for i=1 to 10
        ?ctod('01/01/'+ transform(m.i))  && rollover 6 works, and with ON !?
NEXT

So, it looks like the set .. rollover.. statement must be without ON

>>>I want to be able to type two year digits in the date textbox and treat dates this way: if they less than current year, e.g. 01/01/05 treat them as 2005, otherwise, 1/1/43 treat as 1/1/1943. I could not make it to work, have to admit.
